You are invited to a discussion with clients and staff of Caltest Analytical Laboratory regarding new analytical options for providing monitoring program data needs. There have been advances in analytical instrumentation that have given us additional choices in how to provide analyses of waters. We want to tell you about them, and get your feedback.

Discussions will include the technological advances we have explored, and the advantages they offer, and how each of these options fit with the regulatory criteria for various monitoring programs. It will be informative for you. We will discuss both pros and cons, and hows and whys. If analyses of waters for regulatory purposes matters to you, this should be relevant and time well spent.
